We have known it for years. Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity is a real problem and contributes to a myriad of diseases. Hundreds of thousands of people (without celiac disease) have gone gluten free and realized health improvements in a wide array of different conditions ranging from asthma to thyroid disease.

It may, in fact, be a separate disease entity that involves different organs and different mechanisms than celiac disease. While there is no doubt that the condition exists, the lack of definite criteria for a diagnosis has resulted in a skeptical attitude on the part of many doctors. He goes on to say: The acceptance of gluten sensitivity as a valid condition has evolved.

60-70% of those who think they have celiac disease and seek help from his research center are actually gluten sensitive – they do not have celiac disease.
